    Beware of gigaclear.

    Customer services very poor dont respond on difficult issues like poor broadband. This information is based on a 100gb fibre package


    They are great if you are building a new house or can hardwire your house.
    If you are planning to use WI-FI then their signal is VERY POOR poor its fine if your sat 3 feet from the router then output is 30gb ten feet your are down to 20gb and any further 10gb. but after that it rapidly loses strength and if their are more than two of you using it at the same time, then the first user will be ok the second will be slow and the 3rd user forget about it. i.e. if your are not in the same room as its sited its not going to be worth it.

    I used to have a 6gb std BT service the wifi strength was consistant to everyone and therefore better.

    Solution is paying £100's of pounds for wiring or a minimum £60 to £80 for a decent wifi router and for a house you might need 3 routers in a 3/4 bed house which will still need £100 to £150 wiring per router. i.e my house was £350 for wiring and £180 for boxes.

    Installation costs are very high as well allow £200.
